A Note from the Author

Dear reader,

My goal in writing Breach of Trust was to provide you with adventure and suspense through the lives of unforgettable characters from the first page to the last.

Exploring the life of Mikaela Olsson and the sacrifices she made to protect those she loved provided an opportunity to examine the emotions involved in the work of the CIA. I am grateful to the CIA for their research recommendations in helping me portray as accurately as possible the responsibilities of an operative. My understanding of this highly respected organization was guided by its mission statement: “The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent US Government agency responsible for providing national security intelligence to senior US policymakers.”

I have often wondered how a Christian operative views faith juxtaposed with a commitment to safeguard our country, for their dangerous missions often involve activities that believers may question. My character resolved that issue by acknowledging that she could use her God-given talents and abilities to secure necessary information yet still live out her faith.

I hope you enjoyed Mikaela’s journey because this story was written for you. Every word is for you – to inspire, to entertain, and to challenge all of us to be better people.
